  1. ROAST

    Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the pumpkin pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. BROWN OSTRICH

    Place a pot over high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pot.

  3. SAUCE

    Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil, if necessary. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the NOMU rub and the sliced chilli (to taste), and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the cooked chopped tomato and the diluted stock. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 10-12 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, mix in the drained beans, the BBQ sauce, and the browned ostrich. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and season.

  4. DINNER IS READY

    Pile up the chilli con carne. Dollop over the sour cream. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and any remaining chilli (to taste). Side with the roasted pumpkin pieces. Well done, Chef!
